Dead! were an exciting and energetic British rock band that garnered a loyal following in the underground punk and alternative rock scenes. Formed in Southampton in 2012, the band consisted of members Alex Mountford (vocals), Sam Matlock (guitar/vocals), Louis Matlock (bass/vocals), and Sam Chappell (drums), who together crafted a unique sound that melded the rawness of punk with the anthemic, big choruses of classic rock.

Their music was characterized by a collision of gritty riffs, aggressive rhythms, and candid lyrical narratives. Among their most notable contributions was their 2017 debut album called "The Golden Age of Not Even Trying," which features some of their most recognized songs such as the titular track, "You're So Cheap," and "Enough, Enough, Enough." Through a series of powerful singles like "Something More Original" and "Skin," Dead! demonstrated a profound ability to evolve while maintaining the core intensity that defined their style. Although they disbursed in 2018, their music continues to resonate with fans, with tracks such as "Enemy," "Phantom Single," and the emotive "Tu Me Manques" serving as strong reminders of the band's once potent presence on the UK rock scene. Their innovative sound and unapologetic stage presence left an indelible mark, and their final release, "Beautiful Broken Bones Single," acts as a lasting legacy to their brief but memorable impact.
